We found this sandstone rock about a foot down. It was found in a field of quartz artifacts, which I am also posting. We have found arrowheads in this field on my family land for many years, but have never paid any attention to the other rocks. The field is full of hundreds of flakes.

I believe this is a sandstone abrader. Would someone give their opinion.

Thanks

Sorry.....looks like an indian sex stone to me,if it was an abrader i think it would have more of a u shaped channel in it instead of a v shape...jmho :dontknow:
 

Yes, I have to agree that the u-shape would be more indicative of an abrader used to straighten shafts. The lines on this rock look more like it was used to sharpen points or something.
